OUR WATER OUR LIFE
Water is one of the most cru-
cial resources we need in our
life. Safe drinking water has
always been one of the pri-
mary requirements for he-
althy and sustainable human
life. However, World Health
Organization (WHO) reported
that 39% of the world’s popu-
lation or over 2.6 billion peo-
ple living without improved
sanitation facilities, and 884
million people do not have access to safe drinking water (WHO, 2002)[1].
The competition of water technology at Worldskills is to promote the awareness
about the importance of water and to conserve the water. Water technology hel-
ps to maintain the optimum environmental standards while managing consis-
tent and safe supply of water, and the treatment and recycling of the wastewater.
The competition includes the maintenance of critical equipment and processes
in water or wastewater treatment plants and the networks.

water supply plant). Sampling of water and sludge, analysing in lab, Report writing, Preparing
regular maintenance work
2 Routine work: Monitoring, scheduled or emergency repair or maintenance of equipment (e.g.
and pumps, valves, pipes, sensors, measurement devices)
3 Emergency call during the day 2 and 3 (the call will differ from team to team; depending on
the availability of the needed equipment):
Emergency repair will continue and the situation will be managed. The sand filter will be re-
paired and the flow and process will be repaired.
4 This day is back to normal. The emergency is finished, the monitoring, sampling and lab work
will be carried out to see the plant in a normal routine situation. All aggregates are well fun-
ctioning and the false are successfully repaired.
The documentation work will be more because a monthly report about regular and emergen-
cy work has to be finalized and given to the supervisor. The month is over and the major wants
to know what happened and wants to know the costs and the measures to avoid problems.
This story board will help to explain the occupation to the visitors. It shows routine work indoor
(process and lab) and shows the outdoor task on the various “rolling tables”. The occupation
has variations. Inside work and outside work. Routine and emergency duties. Electrical, metal
and chemical skills are need as well as communication and IT skills (see the standards).
